GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Yes, what did you need?
|
1
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
I've detected some changes within the Queen's Hatchery with my equipment. What's transpired?
|
2
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
We'll speak when we reach the terminal. Nothing must stand in the way of progress!
|
3
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
I trust your task is progressing well.
|
4
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, don't just stand there. You're distracting me. I must calculate the most efficient way to get to my equipment.
|
5
|
| GREETING
|
Anger 50
|
I'm finding your interruptions trying. The slightest mistake because of your distractions and my experiments will be ruined!
|
6
|
| GREETING
|
Surprise 50
|
You startled me!
|
7
|
| Neutral 50
|
You really mustn't creep up on people like that.
|
8
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Yes?
|
9
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Your arrival is most unexpected, but not entirely unwelcome.
|
10
|
| MS04Bailout
|
Let me ask you something else.
|
Neutral 50
|
Yes?
|
11
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoBkgdBail
|
Can we skip the story and get to a solution?
|
Surprise 70
|
Oh, my. I suppose I do tend to ramble on about all things academic.
|
12
|
| Disgust 50
|
My problem right now is I can't reach my terminal to make the proper adjustments and repair the damage I've caused.
|
13
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoCT01
|
What the hell are you doing down here?
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, I might ask you the same thing.
|
14
|
| Neutral 50
|
You're trampling about in a delicately balanced and highly sensitive experimental area.
|
15
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoCT01MetBryanFirst
|
Hey! You're that egghe... I mean scientist the kid was talking about.
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, yes. I suppose I am.
|
16
|
| Happy 50
|
Doctor Weston Lesko's my name and it's good to make your acquaintance. What brings you to my little experimental ecosystem?
|
17
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoCT02
|
Sorry, I didn't expect to bump into anyone alive down here.
|
Neutral 50
|
That is precisely why this is the ideal place for my work.
|
18
|
| Neutral 50
|
Do you realize you're trampling about in a delicately balanced and highly sensitive experimentation area?
|
19
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoCT03
|
Creep up on YOU? I just crapped my pants for crying out loud!
|
Disgust 50
|
That's no way to talk to a man of science!
|
20
|
| Neutral 50
|
I don't have time for this kind of childish nonsense, I have some very delicate experiments that I must attend to!
|
21
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoCT04
|
Experiments? What do you mean?
|
Happy 50
|
My experiments are of a complex nature and would take a scientist to explain... oh wait! I'm a scientist! How marvelous!
|
22
|
| Neutral 50
|
My foray into reducing the girth of these insectoid creatures is of utmost importance.
|
23
|
| Neutral 50
|
I intend to generationally reduce their immense stature by way of a pre-birth induced mutagen. Isn't that clever?
|
24
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoCT05
|
You call this a laboratory?
|
Disgust 50
|
I've chosen this room as a temporary retreat from which to contemplate my erroneous figures for my experiments.
|
25
|
| Neutral 50
|
It may be a bit dark and damp, but such annoyances will not stand in the way of science!
|
26
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoCT06
|
How about we start the experiment by decorating that wall with your brains?
|
Surprise 50
|
Oh my! Such rude behavior!
|
27
|
| Happy 50
|
I'll have none of this from you. I have far more important things to do. Oh, goodness me! That rhymed! How marvelous!
|
28
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoCT07
|
Oh, I see. You're trying to make them smaller over time by injecting the eggs.
|
Happy 50
|
My word! You understand perfectly! How marvelous!
|
29
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoCT08
|
Okay, now how about explaining that for the slower people?
|
Neutral 50
|
Hmmm. Let me see. Well... You start with a generation of very large ants.
|
30
|
| Neutral 50
|
You simply inject the current brood's eggs with an engineered mutagen. Then, the next generation should be smaller.
|
31
|
| Neutral 50
|
Do it enough times, and you may be able to reduce them back to their once original tiny size.
|
32
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoCT09
|
Okay, okay. Enough with the mumbo jumbo.
|
Neutral 50
|
Yes, it's fairly obvious you have no clue what I'm dealing with here. Let me explain to you, as I would to a child.
|
33
|
| Neutral 50
|
The ants start out very very big. Then we put the magic potion in the eggs, so when they hatch, the new ones will be smaller.
|
34
|
| Happy 50
|
Do that many many times and soon all the ants are tiny again! How marvelous!
|
35
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoCT09a
|
Slow down, professor... Once more in English, okay?
|
Neutral 50
|
It's always staggering just how low the intellectual level of the typical Wastelander appears to be. Let me try and explain.
|
36
|
| Disgust 50
|
The ants are very very big. I want to make them very very small.
|
37
|
| Neutral 50
|
So I put a special medicine in the eggs to make them small after they hatch.
|
38
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoCT10
|
So, what's gone wrong?
|
Neutral 50
|
Well. I'm afraid I've made slight miscalculations in the mutagen. Instead of lowering their size, the brood hatched with a new biomechanism.
|
39
|
| Neutral 50
|
I call their genetic abberation pyrosis; the ability to emit flame from their bodies.
|
40
|
| Neutral 50
|
I may be able to correct this error, but I can't get near my equipment.
|
41
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoCT11
|
Are you aware your new ants breathe fire?!
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, this is rather embarrassing so you'll have to forgive me, it appears that I've made a slight miscalculation in my mutagen samples.
|
42
|
| Neutral 50
|
Instead of lowering the size of the ants, the brood hatched and developed a new biomechanism.
|
43
|
| Neutral 50
|
I call their genetic aberration pyrosis; the ability to emit flame from their bodies.
|
44
|
| Neutral 50
|
I may be able to correct this error, but I can't get near my equipment.
|
45
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoCT11a
|
I've got news for you, brainiac. It ain't working.
|
Disgust 70
|
Hmph. I don't expect a common Wastelander to understand the intricacies of an experiment this delicate.
|
46
|
| Neutral 50
|
There was an error in my calculations that caused my mutagen to allow the ants to develop a new biomechanism.
|
47
|
| Neutral 50
|
I call their genetic aberration pyrosis; the ability to emit flame from their bodies.
|
48
|
| Neutral 50
|
I may be able to correct this error, but I can't get near my equipment.
|
49
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoCT12
|
So all that needs to be done is eliminate the remaining Ants?
|
Fear 70
|
I'm afraid it's not that simple. The mutagen has already been injected into the Ant Queen. She has enough in her body to last for years.
|
50
|
| Neutral 50
|
My problem right now is I can't reach my terminal to make the proper adjustments and repair the damage I've caused.
|
51
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoCT13
|
An error? People have died, Lesko!
|
Disgust 50
|
A small price to pay for the advancement of science.
|
52
|
| Neutral 50
|
A few die, and later after the mutagen is improved, many more will live. That's the way it's done.
|
53
|
| Fear 70
|
The only way to correct this mistake is to modify the mutagen. I must get to my terminal.
|
54
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoCT13a
|
I'm shocked you didn't attempt this in a controlled environment first.
|
Surprise 70
|
Your knowledge of experimental procedure surprises me!
|
55
|
| Anger 60
|
Indeed, I have skipped a step and directly modified an entire brood. Perhaps I was too hasty... I was so certain it would work.
|
56
|
| Neutral 50
|
To correct this mistake, I'll need to get to my terminal to modify the mutagen.
|
57
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoCT13b
|
Ha! You call yourself a scientist? That's rich.
|
Disgust 50
|
There's no need to be rude! Science must learn to crawl before it walks.
|
58
|
| Disgust 80
|
If you're not interested in helping the situation, then I suggest you let me get back to perfecting my mutagen.
|
59
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoCT15
|
I may be able to help, but it will cost you.
|
Neutral 50
|
Imagine. Years from now... the entire population of ants in the Wasteland, back to the size of a peanut.
|
60
|
| Happy 50
|
Our names will be in the history books for such a feat of scientific brilliance! How marvelous!
|
61
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoMutGone01SC
|
It was for the greater good Lesko. Man is not ready to play God.
|
Happy 70
|
Perhaps man isn't ready, my friend. Not today, but maybe someday.
|
62
|
| Neutral 50
|
I suppose I shouldn't be angered by your actions, forgive my impertinance.
|
63
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoMutGone01Science
|
Your theories were in error, and beyond correction. I had no choice.
|
Happy 70
|
Spoken like a true disciple of science! I will restart my calculations from the beginning and learn to crawl before I try to run.
|
64
|
| Neutral 50
|
I suppose I shouldn't be angered by your actions, forgive my impertinance.
|
65
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoMutGone02
|
I can't let you risk people's lives for an experiment.
|
Anger 100
|
You utter buffoon! You've set my work back months... perhaps even years!
|
66
|
| Disgust 90
|
I'm afraid I have no further use of your services and any bargain we may have had is null and void!
|
67
|
| Disgust 50
|
Now, if you'll excuse me...
|
68
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoMutGone03
|
Because you're out of your mind!
|
Anger 100
|
You utter buffoon! You've set my work back months... perhaps even years!

|
70
|
| Disgust 50
|
Now, if you'll excuse me...
|
71
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoQuestAccepted
|
If it'll stop the ants from burning down Grayditch, I'm in.
|
Happy 50
|
You will? How marvelous!
|
72
|
| Neutral 50
|
Be careful, my friend, the Nest Guardians can be quite tenacious.
|
73
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoQuestExplain01
|
What can I do to help?
|
Happy 50
|
Since you've offered, allow me to elaborate.
|
74
|
| Happy 50
|
My portable terminal is set up in the Hatchery Chamber near the Ant Queen. If I can reach it, I can continue to work on improving the mutagen.
|
75
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoQuestExplain02
|
What exactly do you need?
|
Happy 50
|
My portable terminal is set up in the Hatchery Chamber near the Ant Queen. If I can reach it, I can continue to work on improving the mutagen.
|
76
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoQuestExplain03
|
So? It's your mistake Doc, you fix it.
|
Disgust 70
|
Please, don't insult my intelligence. Had I been able to correct this error easily I would have done so long before you arrived.
|
77
|
| Neutral 50
|
My portable terminal is set up in the Hatchery Chamber near the Ant Queen. If I can reach it, I can continue to work on improving the mutagen.
|
78
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoQuestExplain04
|
If the Queen's your concern, why not deal with it directly?
|
Fear 70
|
If she were harmed in any way, months of data would be lost.
|
79
|
| Neutral 50
|
Your objective would be to eliminate what I call her quintet of Nest Guardians. Filthy little abominations!
|
80
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoQuestExplain05
|
Why not just kill the Queen and be done with it?
|
Disgust 60
|
If I were to do that months of data would be lost. No, no... the Queen must remain completely unharmed.
|
81
|
| Neutral 50
|
Your objective would be to eliminate what I call her quintet of Nest Guardians. Filthy little abominations!
|
82
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoQuestExplain06
|
So you want me to pop the Queen, huh?
|
Fear 90
|
Oh! No, no, no! The Queen mustn't be harmed at all! Months of work would be lost!
|
83
|
| Anger 50
|
Your objective would be to eliminate what I call her quintet of Nest Guardians. Filthy little abominations!
|
84
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoQuestExplain07
|
Just how will all this undo the mayhem you've caused?
|
Happy 70
|
I've rigged the equipment at my portable terminal to emit what I call an Inhibitor Pulse.
|
85
|
| Happy 70
|
Once I send this pulse, all of the remaining ants will lose their empathic link with the Queen and frenzy, destroying each other in the process!
|
86
|
| Happy 50
|
So, that's all there is to it. What do you say?
|
87
|
| Just how will all this undo the mayhem you've caused?
|
Happy 70

I've rigged the equipment at my portable terminal to emit what I call an Inhibitor Pulse.

Once I send this pulse, all of the remaining ants will lose their empathic link with the Queen and frenzy, destroying each other in the process!
|
89
|
| Happy 50
|
However, there is one final detail I need your help with. Could you do something about Bryan Wilks for me?
|
90
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoQuestExplain08
|
This will stop the Fire Ants?
|
Happy 70
|
No, it should all wrap up rather nicely. I've rigged my equipment at my portable terminal to emit what I call an Inhibitor Pulse.
|
91
|
| Happy 70
|
Once I send this pulse, all of the remaining ants will lose their empathic link with the Queen and frenzy, destroying each other in the process!

I hope that's everything, I've had enough of ants.
|
Happy 70

Yes, it should all wrap up rather nicely. I've rigged my equipment at my portable terminal to emit what I call an Inhibitor Pulse.

That's everything to do with the ants, yes indeed. I've rigged my equipment to emit what I call an Inhibitor Pulse.

|
102
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoQuestExplain10
|
I'd be glad to help him. Who is he?
|
Disgust 70
|
He's a rather bothersome young lad. Always asking interminable questions and interrupting my calculations.
|
103
|
| Happy 50
|
After you're done down here, perhaps you can locate him on the surface and speak to him.
|
104
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoQuestExplain11
|
Wilks? I have no idea what you mean.
|
Disgust 70
|
He's a rather bothersome young man. Always asking interminable questions and interrupting my calculations.

After you're done down here, perhaps you can speak to him and calm him down.

| MS04DoctorLeskoQuestWait
|
Let me get back to you on this.
|
Sad 50
|
Very well, I've waited this long, a bit longer won't make much difference.
|
109
|
| Neutral 50
|
In the meantime, allow me to get back to my calculations.
|
110
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoReward01SC
|
This is a hefty task, Doc. I'm going to need serious incentive.
|
Happy 80
|
Yes, I suppose you're right. Science must learn to acquiesce to your standards in order to advance itself.
|
111
|
| Happy 50
|
I was merely going to offer one of my Mutagenic Bioenhancers, but I suppose I could up the ante.
|
112
|
| Happy 50
|
I will also award you with my old lab coat. It's served me well over the years... and you may find it useful for your own experiments.
|
113
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoReward02
|
Books aren't going to buy me new ammunition.
|
Anger 50
|
Why can't man follow the ant's example? They work together as a team... every waking moment dedicated to the colony.
|
114
|
| Anger 50
|
They require no wealth or material items... everything they need is provided for them by their fellow insects.
|
115
|
| Neutral 50
|
But I digress. If it's payment you need, all I can offer is one of my Mutagenic Bioenhancers.

You want help? Fork over some caps, Einstein.

119
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoRewardMutagenic
|
Mutagenic Bio-what?
|
Happy 50
|
I've managed to isolate some of the Fire Ant genes and distill them into human-safe genetic enhancers!
|
120
|
| Happy 80
|
I can inject you with one of these formulas and you'll find yourself with either enhanced strength or enhanced perception!
|
121
|
| Happy 50
|
Not only that, but you'll be somewhat more resistant to fire! How marvelous!
|
122
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoTLAnts
|
What else can you tell me about these Fire Ants?
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, the mutagen has enhanced their fortitude and provided them with what I call pyrosis; the ability to emit flame biologically.
|
123
|
| Neutral 50
|
They're quite radiation-free however. Well, as radiation-free as any other mutated creature in the Wasteland.
|
124
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoTLAnts01
|
How did you go from changing their size to breathing fire?
|
Disgust 50
|
Playing with genetic codes isn't simple... do you realize one tiny tweak at any point in the last million years could have completely changed us?
|
125
|
| Neutral 50
|
Going from attempting to change their size to generating their pyrosis ability is no surprise at all.
|
126
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoTLAnts02
|
Will anything special hurt the Ants?
|
Neutral 50
|
I'm afraid they are not susceptible to anything I can think of that wouldn't harm the garden-variety Giant Ant.
|
127
|
| Neutral 50
|
Just aim for their antennae if you can... it will confuse them quite a bit.
|
128
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoTLAnts03
|
Ants exhibit class system behavior, so I'll try and kill the Queen fast.
|
Disgust 80
|
Must I again remind you that the Queen is to remain completely unharmed!?
|
129
|
| Disgust 50
|
If she's hurt or killed, there's no telling how long it would take me to find a suitable new subject!
|
130
|
| Disgust 50
|
Just let me issue the Inhibitor Pulse and it will have a similar effect.
|
131
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoTLAnts04
|
How the heck can an ant breathe fire?
|
Neutral 50
|
The stimulation of the subject's evolutionary trigger by the mutagen caused a bio-defensive reaction metamorphosing the ant's venom glands.
|
132
|
| Fear 60
|
This process caused unexpected oscillations in the venom molecules at such a vast rate it produces a thermodynamic biochemical reaction.
|
133
|
| Happy 50
|
As the subject ejects the volatile solution, it becomes conflagrant due to new structures in it's maw I call its calefaction array.
|
134
|
| Happy 90
|
Amazing, isn't it?
|
135
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoTLBryanWilks
|
What should I do about Bryan Wilks?
|
Neutral 50
|
You should take him away from this place; find him a home.
|
136
|
| Neutral 50
|
It would be difficult to accomplish my experiments with him scampering about and asking an interminable amount of questions.
|
137
|
| What do you know about Bryan Wilks?
|
Disgust 60
|
Far too curious. His incessant questioning would often come when I was the most absorbed with my calculations.
|
138
|
| Disgust 90
|
He had no regard for the importance of my work!
|
139
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoTLBryanWilks01
|
Can't you take responsibility for his father's death?
|
Neutral 50
|
All scientists take responsibility for their failures, because it comes with the territory.
|
140
|
| Anger 70
|
I will take this experimentation to completion without roosting on the moral high ground.
|
141
|
| Disgust 70
|
If I allow emotions to enter the mix, all this time and energy spent will have been for nothing.
|
142
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoTLBryanWilks02
|
Don't you realize you've ruined his entire life?
|
Disgust 50
|
You have your ideals and I have mine. I'm down here to complete my experiments at any cost.
|
143
|
| Disgust 70
|
If that means the loss of a few lives to save generations of lives in the future, it's a small price to pay.
|
144
|
| MS04DoctorLeskoTLBryanWilks03
|
You should have at least told him you were alive. He thought he was alone.

I can't risk leaving this place... I have to continue monitoring the Hatchery for any further mutations in the next brood!

Then I will proceed to my portable terminal at once and make the necessary changes to the formula.

Destroying the mutagen was NOT part of what we discussed!

So, what will you do now, Doctor?

Neutral 50

Well, I will continue my research. There has to be a way to reduce these creatures to their former size.

Until then... I will be staying in my shack next to the Wilks's home should you ever wish to visit me.

| MS04FinTLAntsMarigold
|
Why are there Fire Ants still down in the Metro tunnels?
|
Neutral 50
|
I'm afraid that's my fault. The last mutagen sample was given to the Ant Queen's entire brood.
|
165
|
| Neutral 50
|
The brood consisted of hundreds of larvae. I am afraid after they hatched, some escaped through the nooks and crannies in the tunnels.
|
166
|
| Neutral 50
|
The Fire Ants you are seeing now are merely the remnants of the brood returning to the nest.
|

So, what are you going to do now about your experiments?
|
Neutral 50

Well, I'm uncertain. This does deal quite a blow to my research.

First however, I must stay here and devote all of my resources to finding the proper mutagen formula.
|
169
|
| How are your experiments going today, Doc?
|
Neutral 50
|
Very well, actually. I think I've isolated the instance of DNA coding error and I'm attempting to correct it.
|
170
|
| How are your experiments going today, Doc?
|
Neutral 50
|
I'm quite frustrated. I can't seem to isolate a stable mix for the mutagen.
|
171
|
| How are your experiments going today, Doc?
|
Neutral 50
|
Not so well, I'm afraid. The recoding sequence on the DNA splicing has gone awry and I must restart from the beginning.
|
172
|
| How are your experiments going today, Doc?
|
Neutral 50
|
Not much has occurred since we last spoke I'm afraid. But science marches on!
|
173
|
| How are your experiments going today, Doc?
|
Neutral 50
|
I think I'm isolating the issue that caused the Fire Ant mutation error! A few more tweaks and I may have a breakthrough!
|
174
|
| How are your experiments going today, Doc?
|
Neutral 50
|
Disaster! The latest batch of mutagen was completely contaminated. I'll have to start anew. Such is the burden of working in this environment.
|
175
|
| How are your experiments going today, Doc?
|
Neutral 50
|
I think I may be on the verge of a breakthrough! The latest mutagen sample seems quite stable. Only time will tell.
|
176
|
| How are your experiments going today, Doc?
|
Neutral 50

I don't suppose you can help me identify a rogue strain of virus that seems to have infiltrated the latest sample? No, I suppose you couldn't...

Hey, Doc. Will this Fire Ant Nectar do you any good?
|
Surprise 50

Why, yes it would.

|
I would be more than happy to take that off your hands if you'd like.
|
179
|
| Neutral 50

If you can gather more for me, I would certainly love to have them. I'm certain Marigold's tunnels are rife with the original brood.
|

| I have some more Fire Ant Nectar for you.
|
Happy 70

How marvelous! Allow me to buy them from you as we agreed upon.

Excellent! These will be perfect for my next batch of mutagen.

What's the goal of your experiments?
|
Neutral 50
|
By introducing my mutagen directly into an ant egg, I hope to reduce the size of the adults.
|
196
|
| Neutral 50
|
This is a generational system, meaning it will take quite a few broods before the ants are at their destination size.
|
197
|
| Happy 50

In the end, I hope to make them as small as they were over 200 years ago.
